Dragon versus Android: Video of hungry lizard playing 'Ant Smasher' game - with his tongue

People have often debated what animals actually 'see' on television screens, but there's no question what was on this Australian bearded dragon's mind when he saw the game Ant Smasher on his owner's Android touchscreen - dinner.
The lizard played the game on his 24-year-old owner's phone - and tries to 'eat' 16 ants with his tongue before giving up in disgust.

The lizard was captured by his - unnamed owner - playing the 10-million-selling Ant Smasher game with his tongue.
Touchscreens will work with any moist surface, so a lizard tongue will work just as well as a human finger.
The 57-second-clip shows the lizard staring hungrily at the screen as ants stream past - then it shoots out its tongue to catch them.
In the wild bearded dragons eat a variety of bugs from ants to worms and larvae. Adults can grow up to 24 inches from tail tip to head in length.
